Balcony was super tiny, I was shocked by that but ultimately that didn’t matter and the entire stay was wonderful. I do wish there were better parking options as $60 valet did put a crunch on the budget. The staff was absolutely amazing and I would stay here again happily!

Very disappointing for the price. Rooms are old with only one outlet in the room so charging your phone was a struggle. No amenities at all like water or coffee and no restaurant onsite just a bar that didn’t open until 4 pm. For the cost we could have stayed at a Hilton or similar. Will not stay here again

Paid for city view, had view of service alley. Sound carries, you can hear everything. I know it's an old building but maybe enforce quiet hours if you know your building isn't going to give people a good night's sleep

Such a beautiful hotel. So much history, if you stay here, make sure you read about their history on the website. We chose this place for a last minute one night, romantic getaway. It did not disappoint. We were able to walk to Seaport Village and to the Gaslamp district. Everything was so close.
Antique furniture touches throughout the entire hotel, from the original hotels.
